Well I didn't write yesterday because I was in the terminal all day with the zone leaders. Just waiting all day as missionaries came in and out and while waiting for my comp. It was literally all day there. But oh well. My new comp is Elder Maluenda. He is from Chile!
This week was pretty good! We had a great week as a zone here in Bariloche! We did exchanges with the zone leaders last week and they went really well. We had some success talking to people and really just opening our mouths and talking with people in the street. That has been a real focus for us to help us find new people to teach. And we have been seeing a little success with it. i look forward to more success this week!
WE were also able to help some more families do family history work. We helped them get their accounts reset and helped them get started. With one family we started helping them get themselves all connected together in FamilySearch and get their family trees connected. We are going to continue to keep the excitement up that the members have right now.
It has been getting pretty cold here. but everyone just tells us that it hasn't been getting cold. that it just gets colder. So that should be fun. Maybe I'll have some snow on my birthday.
I am looking forward to a good week with our investigators and less actives. And looking forward to working with my new companion! I think we will work well together and have success!
I hope each of you have a good week. Take a second to think about everything that our Heavenly Father has blessed you with and give Him thanks. We need to be thankful for everything. Even for all of the trials that we might have and might be going through.

1. How is the family history work coming along with that family? That is so awesome, I hope they are able to get a lot of temple work done. <3
We have been able to help a few families with their family history. It has been good to see their excitement when we help them.

We need new people to teach.

Talking to more people and inviting them to listen and be baptized.
5. What has been your biggest success?
As a zone this past week we put 20 baptismal dates. We are all super excited and want to invite more people and talk to everyone. i am looking forward to that this week too.
6. What has been the best thing you have read?
I read a talk by Alvin Dyer called the challenging and testifying missionary. It was a really good talk! That was kind of what got all of our excitement up in the zone

Well this was a pretty good week! It is always nice when you get along with your companion.
Mon- Well I was down at the terminal all day with the zone leaders. My companion arrived at 9 pm.
Tues- We did our ciber time to email. And we also had district meeting. That was really good. We had a couple appointments but they fell through. We were able to visit a couple members.
Wed- We went out to contact and had a little success. For lunch we had like a stew that had madongo in it. It is cow stomach. Not the best thing... We went to a couple investigators but they weren't home. We visited a member.
Thurs-We did our contacting in the morning and found a couple potential investigators. We did our weekly planning and then we tried to visit some old investigators but they weren't home. We did visit a less active though and had a good lesson with him.
Fri- We once again tried some more old investigators but they weren't home. We had a couple appointments but they fell through.
Sat-We had mission correlation meeting and that was good. WE were able to visit a a couple less actives and had some good lesson with them. On the bus back to Bariloche we talked to an old investigator and she told us that she wants us to visit her. It was awesome!
Sun- We had church and that was good. We had 47 people there today. We ate a delicious lunch of matambre relleno. We tried a few people then visited a member.
This week i have focused a lot of my studies on desires. My comp always says ´´El Señor siempre cumple con nuestros deseos¨ Its true. if we have faith and have good desires the Lord will help them be fulfilled. I read this talk and it is great!
Have a great week
